Pros
The nightshift employees are an awesome group of people and really work together
Kontras
20:1 patient ratio at night, even with 5 minute rounds, never appropriately staffed per state guidelines, Management refuses to discuss issues with staff and help make things better, just tells employees to " get on the train or get off " Will no respond to e-mails with questions about the units. Chronically understaffed for acuity. DO NOT TAKE ACUITY INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN STAFFING. Benefits are expensive and not worth it. They will not give you time off, even if you put the request in a year in advance, because they are chronically understaffed and have no one to replace you. Patients are not safe in the hospital because we as staff cannot keep them safe. Administration does not care about the employees or employee safety. They only care about money and will admit anyone, no matter how violent, if they have appropriate insurance. ROOMS ARE NOT CLEANED BETWEEN PATIENTS. Housekeeping only works during the day so if patients discharge after they leave and new patients come in they are put in the dirty room, on the opposite bed. The bathrooms are not cleaned between patients.
